Golf Course Update
From Brett Richards, Golf Course Superintendent:
Hello once again from the maintenance team at SiloPoint! We hope that everyone is enjoying the season so far. At the time of writing this note, we had just received over an inch of much-needed rain followed by humid weather. As we head into the stressful summer months for turf, it is always a challenge to manage conditioning. From disease and insects to weeds, excessive or lack of moisture, it is a daily challenge (but one that we take on with great pride). We are constantly monitoring the course for these pesky interruptions and we have programs in place to be used. With that, I would like to remind everyone to do their part in replacing or filling divots and ball marks. I know this seems repetitious but doing this makes a huge difference. As we move on, I want to emphasize cart traffic and the importance of not using the fairways as travel paths. After an inch of rain this past weekend, many carts traveled down the fairways. Please be mindful of this. We hope that everyone is enjoying the course and having fun! We will see you out there and as always if there are any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Handicap Committee Tip of the Month
Have you ever seen this (!) next to your handicap on the GHIN app?
Soft Cap – the point after which there is a reduction in the rate of upward movement of a Handicap Index.
Hard Cap – the point which sets the maximum limit for the upward movement of a Handicap Index.
The procedure reduces or limits the amount by which a player’s Handicap Index can increase when measured against the player’s Low Handicap Index. There are two trigger points with the cap procedure.
Policies & Procedures
We would like to request that all members when booking tee times to add all players' names to the group. This can be done by adding your playing partners to your "buddy list" on the app or website. This allows your partners to receive a tee time confirmation email and our staff to prepare for their arrival. This avoids "double bookings" and allows the tee sheet to be more openly available. If you have any questions or need a tutorial on how to create your buddy list please stop in the golf shop for assistance.
